"Yeah, I reckon you hit the nail on the head. Let's head over to the apartment and see."
"Alright."
Karen hadn't replied to any messages on WhatsApp, and despite Dorothy sending her a couple more, there was radio silence.
To say they weren't worried would be a lie.
As they pulled up to the apartment complex, Dorothy barely got out of the car when she saw Jeffrey's truck racing towards them.
He'd pieced together the same location.
"Everett."
Seeing Dorothy there seemed to relieve Jeffrey, "Dorothy, could you try talking to her? Karen... she must be furious, probably even cried herself out. If she sees me coming up, I'm afraid she might just bolt."
Dorothy pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I'll go up first and check the situation. If I can calm her down a bit, I'll let you know to come up."
She too was concerned Karen's reaction might escalate the situation further.
"Great!" Jeffrey responded, then grabbed Everett who was about to follow, "Everett... wait here with me, will ya? I'm kinda... panicking."
Everett gave him a look, frowning.
"Got the guts to go out drinking, and now you're panicking?"
"I swear! I just thought of having a few drinks, absolutely no physical contact with anyone else, not even a touch!" Jeffrey raised his hands in sincerity, "And I left in less than half an hour!"
"Swearing to me does squat, Karen has to believe you."
"..."
"This should teach you a lesson, so you'll remember next time."
Seeing Everett about to speak, Jeffrey hurriedly added, "Hey! Don't start with the 'if you don't want anyone to know, don't do it' spiel. My mom already gave me an earful!"
"She said you deserved it."
Everett was never a fan of those places.
Too loud and rowdy, nothing appealing about them.
Jeffrey made a face, "Fine, say what you will, just help me win my wife back! I even punched Wesley earlier, I'm absolutely done with those drinking sessions!"
"..."
Everett frowned, his gaze shifting to the apartment building entrance.
Now, he was more concerned about Dorothy's well-being.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
